Description
Religions are alike at heart or in essence (esoterically) while differing in form (exoterically). Metaphysically, revealed religions converge at an apex of existence and cognition in God. The epistemological concomitant is that religious discernment unites at its apex, while differing short of this ultimate. Anthropologically, this unity precludes final distinction between human and divine; epistemologically, between knower and known. It bespeaks a knowing that becomes its object, or rather is its object, for temporal distinctions are inapplicable at this point.
